Concept explainers
Chemical Reactions A self-catalytic chemical reactions results in the formation of a compound that causes the formation ratio to increase. If the reaction rate v is modeled by
where k is a positive constant, a is the initial amount of the compound, and x is the variable amount of the compound, for what value of x is the reaction rate a maximum?
